Great car chase, little else

Rating: 3/10 (31 May 2006)

Bay does great scenes with cars - you have to admire that (although they are getting a bit the same pic to pic): things fall/ are pushed off the lead car/ truck and come at the pursuing vehicles with great speed, drama an explosive effect. Still fun though.
The rest of it is ridiculous: clones are made from/for rich folks so that they have spares; some are killed for their organs; others think/ question/ escape; then they come back to save the rest.
The clones are 3-4 years old with a maturity of 15. Nevertheless they outwit numerous security guards; the heads of the clonemakers; the LAPD in 2050; and a "special unit" composed of ex- "Delta Force, Navy Seals, CIA, ...." Bay is all about using the thinnest story glue to link his vision of special effects. It's fine if you want some cheap escapism. But the movie talks down to you at a 6th-grade level and doesn't even try to make the story logical.
